Pimento cheese sandwiches have been prevalent at church potlucks, parties, and picnics for as long as I can remember. I never knew that some people grow up without this delicacy! Nestled on party trays between tasty chicken salad and yucky ham or egg salad, the delicious yellow-orange cheesy goodness spread on white bread, cut into tiny triangles, sans crust is a taste I have acquired from childhood. A few weeks ago, I had some on whole-wheat sourdough, and that, too, was incredibly delicious. However, I don't think I've had the pleasure of making my own pimento cheese. Perhaps someday soon I will take up this Southern culinary art. I'm still full from dinner, but it is making me hungry just thinking about it! Especially spread on Ritz crackers...

The Joys of Pimento Cheese
Some things I never knew...
some people make it with dill pickles
you can't buy it in Boston (or most places north of the Mason-Dixon)
it is "famously" served at the Masters each year
Blogger's spell check prefers the traditional "pimento," while MS Word spell check accepts either version
